Meh...

1) Don't get this abstract level style at all (candy level looks like straight from Earthworm Jim 2). Nothing like cartoon vibe of Sonic 3 and Sonic Generations. 2D style gameplay looks broken thanks to physics (similar to Sonic 4?).
2) Graphics looks really outdated, nothing like gameplay in trailer. On par with this generation sonic games (and this is suppose to be Wii U powerhouse, Sonic 06 sure was for PS3 and Xbox 360).

Also, fight with Robotnik - boring? Booo....You don't fight him, but rather his machinery, witch is totally different from level to level, from game to game, I don't want boring Mario style bosses,

Rather play Sonic Generation again.

1. How is it "broken"?

2. Who said this was "supposed to be Wii U powerhouse" game? The look is emulating the Genesis games, just in 3D, it aims for simple. And Sonic '06 looks crap by 360/PS3 standards.

1) You want me to describe broken physics? Keep living in the dreamworld. (Play Sonic 4, play Generations -> Watch video another time)

2) It is Wii U exclusive, so no anymore sloppy programming? And Sonic 06 was very beatiful back then. Leap from Adventures to 06 was huge.

1. On the contrary, it looks more precise than Generations, which didn't let you modulate your speed like this and had floaty jumping.

2. Exclusive doesn't mean they set out to set graphical benchmarks. The game clearly aims for simplicity in its style.

Sonic '06 didn't demonstrate the real power of 360/PS3 just like this game doesn't demonstrate the real power of Wii U.

Sonic 06 was a joke. As long as LOST WORLD is not broken it can have MegaDrive/Genesis graphics


Just look at 06

I guess I am in the minority that as a Sonic outsider, I always found the realistic graphic approach to be very weird and unfitting of the Sonic brand. Like putting Nathan Drake in the mushroom kingdom. Or Adam Jensen in Pikmin.

 

Looks pretty good. Hopefully this comes to other consoles later.

I would suggest that you play a demo for Lost World before writing off its physics as "broken". Though either way, Sonic fans should be used to that by now.

Metrium said: I really can't understand all the positivism towards this game. Is it because it's exclusive that ppl are so excited about it? Personaly I still have a bad feeling about this game. First I thought the trailer was disapointing, with these kiddy deadly 6 bosses that looked like they came straight out of Skylander. And now this... Why is Sonic sooo SLOW?! Why is this so much like Mario where you have to take your time and plan carefully your jumps from platform to platform? I love Mario, but this is a Sonic game! This is way to much like Mario imo, it's so slow, It's not what I would want from a Sonic game.

I was worried about this too after hearing how they changed his speed, but after looking at the demo, it's clear that this (Sonic = Mario) is not the case. Sonic's still much faster paced and action packed than Mario. He's not as fast as he is in Unleashed, Rush, Generations, etc., but rather he's about Genesis speed, which many people will like. Though yeah I don't like the direction they took with the graphics either, but it still looks alright so no big deal.

Graphics and Art direction are 2 different things people...
